Very simple to remove the lights. There are 6 push pins in the plastic trunk liner and 3 11mm nuts on each tail light. Each light bulb comes out with a 1/4 turn

looks good, they probably won't last too long though because you didn't use paint made for plastic or acrylic, otherwise they look good though [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img] !!

I was going to do that, but never attempted it because I don't trust myself. I just know I'd get runs or paint would bleed under the masking tape making a mess of it. I have some flat black plastic spray paint and the masking tape.

You did an excellent job from what I can see. Looks great.

I actually got the paint from Home Depot. It is rust-oleum specialty textured paint for plastic.

I just wiped the lights down and made sure they were clean.
